there you have it. one of my favorite hymns is "if you could hie to kolob"

Someone had already mentioned this at a site I frequent and I think it's up on wikipedia too.

For more nerdiness regarding Battlestar, I heard about this one on Howard Stern about a week ago.

The site is complete with a poll for the president on the shows approval rating. Other such gems include this major issue: answer the toughest question of the night: Galactica vs. Enterprise — who’d win?

I can't say I've listened to an entire podcast, but I've downloaded quite a few and skimmed through them.

you trounced me on the nerd scale. (though I'm still hedging on the bizarre religious interpretations)

[King of Snake]

Yeah, this show is great! It was recommended to me by a friend and I was suprised at how dark it could be at times (dealing with terrorism/torture/suicide bombings by what should be the "good guys": the humans).
The space action scenes also look great, and it's nice to see a more "realistic" approach to how inertia works in space (using thrusters to position and turn the ships, rather than having them flying like jet fighters).

I need to start catching up on season 3 though....

I've watched season 1 and 2 now, I'm waiting for season 3 to finish so I can watch that too. I agree with Scott, halfway Season 2 I found it a little hard to continue because some of those eps are dreadful, but I pulled through and near the end it's all good again.
